Lord of the Rings at the Olympics
Hey, fans--did you know that U.S. National Champion in Men's Figure Skating, Todd Eldredge, did his long program to "Lord of the Rings" music this past January--to win U.S. Nationals for the 6th time? He is skating his short program tonight (Feb. 12)--any minute. He will be skating his long program on Thursday evening, Feb. 14. Maybe he'll do his "Lord of the Rings" program again and win a medal for the U.S. Watch and see!
I know all this because I have interviewed Todd for "Blades on Ice" skating magazine (http://www.bladesonice.com) and am following his career. I have reprinted my interview with him on my own website at *Sorry, No Personal Advertising - CBG* Todd likes to use strong, dramatic music, so "Lord of the Rings" was a good choice! By the way, Todd's winning "Lord of the Rings" program was flawless and amazing. I'll bet Tolkien never would have guessed his books would influence figure skating.
